Sarah2016-06-26T00:00:00Z

Christine's cabin was a delightful and restful stop for our Christmas travels. The cabin is very relaxing and comfortable and the location is excellent for exploring the inner suburbs. We had a lovely time, thank you!

Lucy2016-12-24T00:00:00Z

Christine's place was delightful! A real life saver. Will definitely be back. :)

Katie2016-10-13T00:00:00Z

Not my first time. It's always a pleasure to have a chat with Chris and enjoy staying in the granny flat.

John2016-10-27T00:00:00Z

Christine was fantastic in her communication and ensuring we had everything we needed. Location was very convenient as it is so close to restaurants and shopping. Would definitely recommend to other guests.

Bronte2016-12-14T00:00:00Z

Nice place to stay. The room was extremely clean and quiet.

Peilin2017-04-08T00:00:00Z

Christine was very friendly and helpful. We loved staying in the little granny flat right beside the pool and enjoyed being able to swim whenever we wanted and eating our breakfast by the pool. It was a short walk to Throsby Creek and we had a lovely stroll beside the water into town. We will definitely stay here again when we next come up to Newcastle.

Ben2015-12-06T00:00:00Z

Christine's granny flat is great value and had everything I needed. Awesome.

My place is close to Broadmeadow Racecourse, Beaumont Street, Newcastle CBD, Beaches. You’ll love my place because of The location, the comfy bed, close to cafes and restaurants . My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, families (with kids), and big groups.

Great place for our short stay, very accommodating and close to everything! Will stay again.

Amy2017-03-31T00:00:00Z

Great apartment for a family centrally located in Hamilton to Beaumont Street. Well equipped kitchen. Very comfortable beds. Two large bathrooms and outdoor areas.

Melanie2017-01-26T00:00:00Z

The location is very close to Beaumont street, where all the restaurants are. The apartment is very spacious and fit 6 people with no issue. Highly Recommended.

Novi2017-04-22T00:00:00Z

This place is perfect ! Not one thing was wrong with it !

Andrew2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

A beautiful newly completed 1st floor apartment (with lift). The location is within walking distance of the many pubs, cafes and restaurants on Beaumont Street. The area ,whilst close to places eat and drink, is quiet and feels very safe and secure. Checking in is easy with reception immediately inside the main entrance. The apartment is well appointed with new appliance and comfortable furnishings. The suburb of Hamilton is close to Newcastle's beaches. We had a car and drove easily to the sights of Newcastle. We didn't use public transport but buses and trains are readily available. We hope to be able to stay in this lovely 2 bedroom apartment again.

Jean2017-02-11T00:00:00Z

Nestled in the heart of Hamilton, right near bustling Beaumont St, this lovely cottage style home is a little hidden haven right in the centre of Newcastle. A very homely place to lay your head, you will be surprised how quiet it is here, but still so close to all the action.
I am just around the corner from the main bus route, Hamilton train station is a 5 minute walk, there is an abundance of cafes and restaurants on Beaumont St, and Bar Beach is about a 25 minute walk away.

I had such a great stay with Liz. It was clean and comfortable. Liz is very accomodating and easy to get along with. Communication was always quick. Great location, central to everything. Thanks Liz dor giving me a home to come back to after work. Highly recommended. I will be back again.

Tania2017-04-05T00:00:00Z

Had a great time at Liz's! Very happy with the bed and the room, all very easy. Would definitely recommend :)

Kat2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

A very nice stay albeit for only 1 night. Liz is very friendly and welcoming. The room is comfortable, and the house is situated only a minute or two from all the Beaumont Street restaurants and pubs. Easy parking outside.

Derek2016-07-01T00:00:00Z

I spent 2 weeks at Liz home and I really had a great time. Her home is very nice and well localized, very close from shops and bike distance from the beach. The room was very nice, clean, and exactly like in the pictures. Liz was an excellent host, very thoughtful and nice. She hepled me litteraly with everything I needed (bike, printing, supermaket lifts etc...). The only thing that could may be could be improved is the cleaning of the kitchen but I didn't really care about that. I definitly recommand Liz house !

Laura2016-04-02T00:00:00Z

Liz and Craig, were very nice and made me feel welcome. It was there first Air B&B experience and weren't sure what to expect! Hopefully it was ok. The space was good but needs some work to make things more comfortable. Very well located with shops and restaurants close by.

Aris2016-03-10T00:00:00Z

I really enjoyed staying at Liz's place. The location is fantastic and Liz is very easy to deal with.

Paul2017-01-17T00:00:00Z

Three days with Liz in her Zen Den. Pets were friendly and so was Liz. At the south end of the Beaumont strip. The room had all I needed.

John2017-01-25T00:00:00Z

The house sits on the edge of Islington Park-walking/cycling tracks. Around the corner from amazing coffee shops, vintage, boutique and retro shops, pubs, restaurants, main bus stops and train station.

Although it's a wonderful space, please note, it is small. It is a singular room with everything your heart could desire in it. The bathroom is NOT separate. As long as you have no problem with this you will adore it.
The studio is villa style, directly attached to the studio apartment next door, although completely independent and private.

The house sits on edge of the park.
Islington Park, located on Throsby Creek, has a beautiful cycleway that links Islington to the redeveloped Newcastle foreshore. It's a beautiful walk/ride.
Islington is located at the north-eastern end of Beaumont Street, the restaurant precinct of Newcastle so there's loads of cafe's and resteraunts as well as amazing coffee shops and great pub meal deals.
Known as the antique/retro district of Newcastle, with numerous retro and antique shops as well as boutiques primarily located on Maitland Road, which also houses Islington's main trade area, with more shops/bars/cafes on Beaumont Street.
The community garden is around the corner and the park hosts two sets of public gym equipment, children's play equipment and public BBQs.

Great little studio close to lovely pubs, cafes and shops

Suzette2017-03-30T00:00:00Z

Fast reply within a day and with clear instructions even though I had made a last minute booking. Everything was perfect for a quick one night stop near Newcastle. Thanks!

Tiffany2016-04-11T00:00:00Z

Jzhonnie's studio is a fantastic base to explore Newcastle from. He approved our request at very short notice (only a couple of hours) and the place was immaculate. Communication was fantastic and we just loved being close to the city, beaches and cafes. I would recommend for anyone to stay here, definitely a winner!!

Matt2015-10-25T00:00:00Z

Fabulous place see other review for full details :)

Meg2015-07-30T00:00:00Z

Love this place, ticked all the boxes for our needs! Host has great taste, highly recommended! And beautiful bath tub, what a treat! My partner & I take away beautiful memories from our stay, THANKYOU Jzhonnie ❤

Anne2015-08-30T00:00:00Z

I frequently travel to Newcastle for work & my stay at Jzhonnie's was absolute luxury to go home to after a busy day in the office. I thoroughly enjoyed the free standing bath, the enormous & comfortable bed, the decor, the complimentary wine and the privacy. The location is quiet, yet so close to Beaumont Street with some of the best restaurants, bars & cafes in town. I will definitely be staying again next time.

Loren2016-12-17T00:00:00Z

Stayed a night for a work trip. Great communication & super stylish pad. The bath tub soak whilst watching trashy tv was a dream! Thanks for the stay.

A comfortable room with a queen bed and fresh linen. Easy on street parking, close to all public transport and a short stroll through the park to Beaumont St where you will find a selection of restaurants and good cafes. Broadmeadow station is close by.

Our home is a 3 bedroom Californian bungalow on a quiet tree lined street. It's comfortable and offers generous living areas, a beautiful garden and back deck. You have sole use of the bathroom although it is not an ensuite. We have a small and well behaved dog. The kitchen and bathroom are renovated and clean and there is opportunity to store food in the pantry and fridge.

We love our local park which is 5 minutes walk away, our access to public transport, our walking access to the entertainment centre and show ground. There are local restaurants and cafes close at hand, which means a glass of wine with dinner doesn't mean an expensive cab fare. Buses can be easily caught if your dinning or sight seeing in the city, although it is also walkable if your fit. Greater Newcastle is a beautiful city incorporating parklands, lovely natural walks, beautiful beach's and a lively cafe and arts scene.

Thank you very much for welcoming me to your beautiful home. It was the comfortable and tranquil oasis I needed. Thank you also for accommodating my special needs and helping me onto the road early in the morning when I left. Your openhearted hospitality is greatly appreciated.

Norma2015-12-14T00:00:00Z

Jennifer and Joseph are warm, friendly hosts. The house is a classic older style, tastefully decorated with a lovely big garden. We enjoyed chatting with Jennifer and Joseph on the back deck, soaking up the morning sun. A home away from home!

Margaret2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

So happy I chose to stay at Jen and Joseph's lovely home. I really appreciated the welcome, the serenity, the very clean facilities, our conversations and peaceful environment. The house is within walking distance to great cafes and shops, and also close to public transport. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and hopefully I can stay again in the future.

Jo2015-11-16T00:00:00Z

Our stay with Joe and Jen was fantastic. Their house is very beautiful and relaxing, located near Beaumont St. where you can find a lot of restaurants, bars and shops. We had many interesting conversations with Joe and Jen, loved to play with Frida and the chicken, so all in all we felt very welcome.

Timo2016-01-05T00:00:00Z

Very pleasant stay. Jen and Joseph made us feel very welcome! Would recommend

Michael2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Our first experience using airbnb a great one. Jennifer and Joseph made us feel so welcome and trusted us with their gorgeous home. The listing was accurate and exceeded our expectations. The house was spotless, beautiful clean linen on the bed and everything lovely. The location is fantastic too.

Jodie2016-03-28T00:00:00Z

Jen and Joe were lovely hosts. The bed was super comfortable. I loved the quiet neighborhood. I would stay with them again Ina minute.

Islington is home to many cafes, antique shops and local traders.
A walk down Beaumont St will bring Hamilton Train station, restaurants, pubs and plenty of shopping.
A quick bus ride will take you directly into the heart of Newcastle CBD. Here you can enjoy shopping, local businesses or the spectacular harbor front.

Great spot. Clean. Comfortable.

Shoallea2017-02-10T00:00:00Z

Our first Airbnb experience and Joanna did a great job making sure our choice a happy one. We have no reservations saying that we chose a great place to stay, better than expected! The apartment was as described, modern, new, fully equipped, comfortable and quiet. Close to some lovely shops and restaurants.

Peter2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

Joanna met us on arrival and showed us the beautiful clean apartment. It was bright and new with a balcony and kitchen. Everything was perfect for our 1 night stay. The location was perfect. Lots of restaurants and interesting shops. We parked on the street outside.

Alison2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Joanna s place is a home away from home! Centrally located in an interesting area near transport and cafes and shops. Also the unit is very comfortable and fully equipped!

Beverley2017-05-09T00:00:00Z

My partner and I absolutely loved our stay. Joanna was very helpful and kind. She answered every question we threw at her. The studio apartment itself is very clean, tidy and secure. It has influenced us to buy and renovate something similar. I will definitely recommend this accommodation to my friends.

Jake2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

The apartment had everything we needed in a great location close to many eateries, antique shops, train station and the Wickham Park Hotel. Clean, comfortable and a great shower!

Andrew2017-02-25T00:00:00Z

Jo's home was exactly what we needed for our weekend away in Newcastle. She personally welcomed us and showed us through the room and provided us with so many amenities to keep us going for the whole weekend. We really enjoyed our stay at Jo's place and will happily stay there again when we're in Newcastle next.

matthew2016-09-04T00:00:00Z

PERRRRFECT! Jo accommodated for my early arrival and my unforeseen change of plans throughout my stay....The apartment is spacious and loved soaking up the winter sun at breakfast on the balcony. A short bus trip directly into town although my highlight was meandering around the antique shops, a must see! Thankyou Jo

Great spot, love the location - Colin was really helpful and made us feel very welcome but he also gave us privacy and space. We would definitely stay again - great value - thanks Colin!

Nicola2015-02-01T00:00:00Z

Colin was a fantastic host despite my stay being very brief and arriving in very late 10.30pm in fact. The loft style room is immaculate and modern. Colin is a lovely guy and the dog is friendly without being 'jumpy'. I could recommend anyone to stay here and I indeed will be choosing to stay here again.

Jai2014-10-21T00:00:00Z

This is the second time I've stayed with Colin and I have found him to be flexible, accommodating and friendly. The room is big and spotlessly clean with a keen attention to detail. I think the price represents very good value for money . I'd recommend this property to anyone with confidence.

Jai2014-11-20T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at Colin's loft. He was a very helpful and gracious host. We will definitely be booking again with Colin when we return.

Frank2016-04-04T00:00:00Z

Love the place! The most "hip" place I have lived at and will surely be coming back here whenever I am in Newcastle! Colin is very easygoing and it felt like I was living at a friend's place :) The house is above an art gallery and you get to look at some amazing artworks! The room is huge and you great value for money! It is also located very close to all the attractions and easily accessible by public transport so it checks every box on my list.

Mani2016-12-24T00:00:00Z

Colin was very friendly and helped heaps by allowing me to check in early in the morning. The room was clean and homely. I found my stay to be trouble-free and quite private as Colin didn't sleep at the premise during my stay. Outside our lockable room is a tv lounge area and kitchen facilities were available downstairs.

Kenny2016-10-30T00:00:00Z

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Colin's gallery in Wickham. It was beautifully decorated, well equipped, comfortable and Colin was very kind and helpful. It was also very conveniently located for my purpose and for grabbing a lovely meal on Newcastle's trendy Darby Street. I fell in love with Colin's lovely black Labrador, Benny who was so friendly and as equally excited to meet me as I was him. I would definitely recommend staying with Colin and Benny.

Nick2016-10-04T00:00:00Z

A night in art gallery! It was such a vibrant and lovely place to stay. The room was clean and cozy, we had everything we need. Colin was so nice and helpful on everything. We had a good time and very enjoyed the stay. Highly recommend!!

My home is very convenient to everything Newcastle has to offer. 5 minute walk to Beaumont St shops with lovely restaurants, take aways, banks, op shops, jewellery and gift shops.
This home has a nice feel to it . It is 100 years old and everyone who comes here is very welcome. It is in a quiet street with a mix of older ethnic families and young families with small kids. We all look out for each other .

Laurianne was very warm and accommodating, and always up for a chat. She was very encouraging of us to use her home as if it were our own. We had some lovely mornings eating breakfast on her sunny back porch and chatting to Laurianne after she'd come in from a morning at the beach.

Melissa2014-12-30T00:00:00Z

Laurianne was a great host and made me feel very welcome. It was my first booking with AirBnB and it couldn't have been a better experience. The bed was comfy, the room neat and tidy and we had some interesting chats. She even took the time to show me around in Newcastle and showed me a hidden ice cream shop with the best ice cream ever.

Laurianne is a great host, very very helpful with my stay in Newcastle.

The one night I stayed with Laurianne was very good. She is a gracious, friendly and practical host and her house reflects that. Easy to find its an attractive and quiet house on a nice street within five minutes walk of cafes and restaurants and close to the city centre if you catch a bus or arrive on the train. from Sydney. An added bonus to my stay was Laurianne very kindly allowing me to join her on her morning 6.30 am swim down at Bar Beach on what was a sparkling sunny morning. In my opinion Newcastle beaches are better than Sydney's so this was a highlight of my quick trip.

Jeremy2014-10-28T00:00:00Z

My stay with Laurianne was exactly as described and above expectations. Laurianne is warm, welcoming and went out of her way to make my stay enjoyable. Also, for someone who has never been to Newcastle, Hamilton is fantastic and Laurianne is within very easy walking distance, literally just around the corner, to great coffee, bars and food.

Shelley2014-11-29T00:00:00Z

Overall Laurianne was a great host to our worker, the downside of his stay was that while the pilates classes were on, it meant that he had to walk outside the house and around to the front to use the bathroom facilities, which wasn't pleasant in the rain.

Antiques stores are within walking distance as is the hub of activity that is Beaumont St in Hamilton.

Great experience! Jeff's granny flat was very clean and welcoming. The bed was very comfortable. Jeff treated us as one of his friends. On our last night we had drinks and dinner together which was really fun. Jeff is absolutely lovely and during our stay he always made his best assuring that everything was working properly and that we were happy in the flat. We definitely recommend Jeff's accommodation ;)

Amanda2015-12-02T00:00:00Z

My bf and I had a wonderful time staying in Jeff's granny flat. The unit was clean, spacious and very conveniently located. It also had a full kitchen with stoves, pots and key condiments provided, so cooking dinner was easy! They're very well located just 5 minutes drive from the foreshore which had heaps of restaurants and was very lovely for a n after dinner walk. Jeff himself was a very warm and friendly host who was happy to cater for additional needs. The unit did get very warm/stuffy during the day (afternoons) but that can't be helped and we weren't bothered by it. The air conditioning unit ensured we slept comfortably. Newcastle itself was beautiful, relaxing and very friendly residents who struck up conversations with us and gave us several recommendations on things to do. I highly recommend the Merewether ocean baths and the Blackbutt reserve (wildlife park, rainforest walks). We'd happily come back for a second visit!

Sandra2015-12-05T00:00:00Z

Great little granny flat! Perfect hosts. We will look forward to our next stay at Jeff's!

Richard2016-01-27T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful home away from home. Jeff and Megan go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The place is full of those extra touches (like nice plunger coffee!) that make the stay that little bit nicer. Area is a very sweet suburban area - easy distance from the city.

Amber2016-04-16T00:00:00Z

Paul2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

Jeff was a great, very friendly host. He clearly was willing to do anything to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The apartment was cozy, and great value. Secure parking was a plus. However there were a few areas that could be improved. On a hot day, the apartment can become very warm and muggy. There is an air conditioner in the bedroom, but if it's off all day while you're out, it will take hours to cool the bedroom down let alone the rest of the apartment. A second air conditioner in the kitchen/dining room and/or ceiling fans in each room to aid airflow and would make a world of difference. Jeff did provide a floor fan on request, but a more permanent solution would likely be appreciated by future guests. The unit is also a full hour walk to downtown Newcastle (70-75 mins to Nobbys Beach) vs the 30 mins (to downtown) indicated. It's a nice walk along the river, but is quite a distance. There is a Woolworths and other shops a 15 min walk away. The wifi is based in the main house, so the signal is very weak in the apartment. This is a pet peeve of ours as we are on the road for months and depend on wifi. Having said all that, the apartment is very good value in Newcastle, but anyone staying there should know the limitations on location etc. We would also have happily paid a bit more per night for better aircon and wifi.

Hamilton is a lovely inner city suburb of Newcastle, located 4 kilometres from Newcastle's central business district. It is not only a centre for business and transport but is popular for cafes, restaurants and pubs, particularly those located in cosmopolitan Beaumont street (which boasts a range of cuisines & conveniences, including over 25 restaurants, the major banks, post office and chemist.
Hamilton was home to Newcastle’s first Italian and Greek arrivals and there is still a strong Mediterranean focus in the dining offerings along Beaumont Street. At the corner of Beaumont Street and Maitland Road is Islington, an area known for fantastic antique and bric a brac shopping.
Stallard Cottage is located on a corner block, diagonally opposite from the beautiful Gregson Park - a fabulous spot for picnics and great playground area for children.

Bronwen was there when we arrived which was great as there were a couple of communication issues prior to arriving. Seemed to be with Airbnb. She explained the house and handed over the keys. Our 4 day stay was delightful and we kept in touch with Bronwen relating to people staying and she was very accommodating. The house itself was a cottage style with plenty of room and all we had expected. Would defiantly stay there again.

Rodney2016-10-03T00:00:00Z

Loved our stay in this great house. Beautiful timber floors, high ceilings, large rooms, two modern bathrooms including one with a free standing bath. Nice neat backyard. Great location just ten minutes away from newcastle cbd. Bronwen left the house in impeccable condition. The little touches made all the difference such as coffee in the pantry & brand new towels in the bathroom. You will not be disappointed with this house.

Lucy 2016-01-02T00:00:00Z

The house was in a great location near local shops and only 6 minutes to centre of Newcastle. Very clean and lovely character home with all amenities working and clean Great size rooms Fully renovated bathrooms Would recommend to anyone

Scott2016-02-29T00:00:00Z

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bronwens home. It was much larger than we thought, very clean, had the most comfortable beds and lounge. Great main bathroom with claw foot bath. Everything we could have wanted. Replies to my enquirers were very fast and helpful! A great experience for our first time with Airbnb. A lovely home where We felt very safe and would quite happily stay there again!

Cormac's place is great for a short stay. Very cosy studio apartment as described and shown accurately. It is on a main road so there is some noise but wasn't an issue for us as we didn't spend much time in the apartment. The price is very reasonable and reflects the apartment well.

Gabby 2017-03-25T00:00:00Z

very good

Peter2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

A lovely, private flat, modern, clean and very spacious. Great communication from the host and great value for money, would definitely stay here again

Suzie2017-04-06T00:00:00Z

Cormac's place had everything we needed. It is clean and comfortable and worked well for our trip to Maitland Steam Festival.

Fall in love with the modern, New-York inspired interiors, beautiful outdoor deck with sunken, heated spa and entertainers kitchen! Our place is decked out with all the modern essentials you could need and off-street parking for 3 cars.

Walk less than 50m down the road to find the very well renowned Table One Espresso or cross the road to find a beautiful local coffee house, Ester C. Take a stroll and you'll hit beautiful Merewether Beach in 15 minutes... or hop in the car and you'll be there in 5!

Jeff was a great host, friendly, responsive and easy to communicate with. The house is lovely, cosy and as described. It is also well equipped and our stay was more than comfortable. The only possible downside is that it is located on a busy road. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Welcome to this cozy, eco, pet friendly cottage perfect for 4-6 people in awesome, beachy, cafe-central Merewether!
2 queen bedrooms (with lovely linen), 1 king single bedroom, one very comfy king single couch, 1 traditional bathroom, a study and a north facing living area, modern kitchen, lovely garden and deck.
Short stroll to Newcastle's finest cafes and shops, 3 great pubs and 15min walk to Merewether Beach. Easy parking and easy access to catch public transport (or walk everywhere)!

Welcome to this bright, eco (chemical free & sustainably renovated) pet friendly house. Ideally set up for 4 people, such as 2 couples, with a king single in the third bedroom and a king sofa bed in the lounge room.
Stays for two or more nights preferred (once you have the location, you'll understand why!). Perfect for backpackers or students or interstate professionals who are coming through the area and want to check out the locals experience, find your feet and get familiar with the area before either moving on or finding somewhere to rent or buy.
The queen beds have been kitted out with new luxury linen and plush towels for your ultimate comfort! The home is partially renovated with one traditional bathroom which has some tiles missing, however is clean and very functional. However, the home makes up for this un-renovated bathroom with the fully renovated lovely north facing living area.
This open plan living area has a fully renovated kitchen, dining and activity nook, looking out to the lovely sunny garden through lots of glass and louvres to take advantage of the sunlight and the afternoon sea breeze. The activity nook has a piano and enough space for morning yoga or pilates. The dining table seats 6 people comfortably, or entertain outside on the deck, and take in the rays in the lovely garden enjoying the 6 seater outdoor setting.
Note: the deck is not fully finished being constructed and although it is usable, it is not suitable for toddlers or young children unsupervised. If you have a green thumb - feel free to have a play in the veggie and herb garden! Otherwise you can start your day by sitting outside in the morning sun with a cuppa or reading the paper, soaking in the rays.
This house is located a short stroll from amazing locals cafes such as vegan-friendly Pickled and Pressed for amazing brunch, coffee or cold pressed juice, or other options like Talulah, The Hood or Esther C Cafe. Three amazing pubs nearby - the Mary Ellen, the Prince of Wales and the Burwood for a tasty pub meal or beverage to end your day at the beach! Only a 15-minute walk to famous Merewether Beach and short walk to Glebe Road to catch buses to take you anywhere in Newcastle.

Friendly locals area, which is perfect place to get a really nice feel for Newcastle and why it's such an amazing lifestyle area and the best place to live.
Yes, we're biased. But we're definitely right. Newcastle is great, and Merewether is where it's at.

A lovely, cute little house in a quiet street & a good location, close to shops, the beach & public transport. The house isnt fully renovated yet but is accurately described. Was quite chilly at times, mostly on account of the floorboards, so bring slippers! But otherwise a lovely place to stay. Jade was a really helpful & accommodating host.

Nicole2017-05-11T00:00:00Z

Alanna2017-04-23T00:00:00Z
